Anonymous, 31 May 2023Man you wrong. Please explain us this: https://www.gsmaren... moreAnother blind ximo defender. Do you know how much a team of software engineers that doesn't exist in ximo cost? do you know how much proper warranty support cost? do you know how much proper optimization on all lens cost? you compare 3 vs 5y update support? and still its perfectly reasonable to make it cost 1.100 if the production cost is 469. Do not even compare Samsung flagship with any other flagship, they are super complete work horse devices, while your ximo cant get even their wi-fi, performance, or response time right.

Anyone who defends corporations like samsung - grow up. We better defend our standpoint than coping with modern bullshit like removing software features for our own "safety" and physical functionality like 3.5 jack and sd card (literal buttons in case of the new iphone)

If brands choose to use only for 2nd tier phones or not even use, that is not qualcomm's fault.
Google uses exynos. Other brands are free to buy it as well.
Sammy Semicon would gladly sell that crap.

Anders, 31 May 2023So it's getting cheaper and cheaper for manufacturers ... moreMaterial is only a part of equation. Ever commissioned building a house for example because I did, and it cost more on other things like labour, transportation of materials, hiring professionals for other services for my home when compared to the raw materials. Other things cost maybe 1.5-2x the cost of raw materials. And I'm not buying ads for my home, or hiring celebrities, or giving after sales support, maintaining inventory of spares, paying employees or investing in R&D, market research etc.

Past 5 years apart few sensors and useless foldables with zero durability on main screen samsing invented nothing in a cell phone branch.
All phones past years use same design.
A14 looks like S23 or A54. Everything is litterary same apart few internals.
Apart fact they paid several very costly actors and spend 4 billions each year on a useless marketing they did nothing.
Hnestly look here. They managed to reduce cost by 57% on S21 FE and still make a decent profit. This only proves they are greedy and soes not deserve out money.
Chinese companies include 100 in accesorize like fast charger, earphones, case etc.
Samsung gives nothing but a very high price.
Honestly you defending wrong company but its not me to tell you you must find your self.

https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_india_fab_grab_fest_deals-news-58465.php
If they can add 57% discoutn on S21 FE and still sell it for a very nice profit please stop stubbornly defend this greedy company.
Honestly as we all known and it was in theses pages said by GSMArena team samsung marketing is 4 billions a year.
A463 eur BOM plus like 1000 for marketing and rest is RD cost, delivery etc. Phone price was 1600 without any accesories.
Compared to that for 1300 of Mi 13 Ultra for example you get 100 for accesories, charger, cable, case and many else and a lot better device with a lot better specs and UI. Better camera (okay not front one), display, charging etc.
If Samsung were so great they wouldnt need to spend 4 billions a year just for marketing.
Good company sells on its own and most marketing is done with a happy customers who reccomend same thing to their friends and family. Paying greedy expensive TV and Radio advertising, billions of paper on billboards etc wont help anyone.
Especially the nature from which most paper come.
Not saying and compaining real so called superstars actors and movie stars who doing another advertising for using their devices in TV spots for 30 seconds.
This is tottaly disgusting.
200 years ago we havent had anything of this and people bought what they liked.
This so called modern era is creepy.
Noone gets fed from advertising. Nor poor 33% of people in world which havent fresh water to drink and fresh bread to eat.
Mark my words.

Nicolas F, 31 May 2023> "Note that the bill of materials doesn’t include ... moreMan from a 1600eur S23 Ukltra lowest model price the marketing is like 1000 euros 463 is BOM and rest 37 is shipping and so called research and developement which is nothing or close to zero because past 5 years samsung invented nothing.
Same design, same camera setup. Yes they invented 200 Mpix but that maybe all.
By the way they saved a lot by not including charger, case and many else into each box like others do.
For exactly same price xiaomi or any else chiense company gives 2x the specs plus include 100eur in accesories.
Samsung is nothing but a scam.
